A day in Ghent



This week seems to be my "travel around in Belgium week". Just got back from a delicious thai lunch in Brussels, followed by an exhausting but fun shopping session. Unfortunately the shops were too distracting and time consuming to take outfit photos, but I do have some photos to share with you from yesterday : quality time with my mom in Ghent.

For those of you who don't know Belgium.. Ghent is mainly known for it's studentlife. The most famous Belgian university is situated there and therefore the majority of its population consists of students from all over the country. After my summerholidays you will definately get to hear and see much more of this lively place.

We arrived around 12 h and went for lunch at one of my favorite places " Le pain perdu". The concept and food is similar to " Le pain Quotidien", a bit simpler and cheaper, but very good aswell.


Toasted bread with Italian ham, mozarella,dried tomatoes and a little salad..mmmmm

In the afternoon we walked around in the more historic center,did some shopping and went for dessert at Barista.

 Drinks and palmtrees @ Korenmarkt.
